Could the viewrange on the WZ-111-4 please be severely nerfed?
The viewrange on higher-tier heavies is already unbalanced, (the E100/Maus will outspot a tier 10 scout. This has happened to be often though bushes and 100% camo crew.) but nothing is so unbalanced as the viewrange on the WZ-111-4. Many times, I have been spotted by one while I'm playing my SRV-103B through multiple bushes, active camo net, camo paint, and 100% crew from a significant distance. (Typically around 350-400m?)
This is also extremely frustrating when playing vehicles that depend on their camo for survival. Just recently, I played a game on "Cliff" in my T92 SPG. I spawned on the side without the village, and utilized the bushes next to the road that runs through spawn for cover. I checked the front of my SPG to ensure that I wasn't visible through the bushes. Late in the game, the valley was lost to a group of enemy heavies. An IS-4 drove up the close ramp into our base, but did not spot me. I had locked my hull so that my camo net would remain active. While the IS-4 was within several tens of meters (maybe 50?), a enemy WZ-111-4 peeked from the ridgeline that overlooks the base. I was instantly spotted, and the IS-4 suddenly started bothering me. The ridgeline was the better portion of around 4 gridsquares away.
There were no remaining enemy light tanks, no enemy had a line of sight on me that was not obstructed by bushes, and there were no enemies closer than the IS-4 and WZ-111-4. (My team had vision on the region.) My T92 had camo paint, a camo net, a full 100% camo crew, and bushes. I did not move my hull or fire my cannon during this time.
